The Dayton Daily News wrote that "lead singer Barry Marler provides strong vocals... His style and the general sound of Dreams So Real are similar to that of the Alarm." [5] The Tampa Tribune dismissed the album as "straight-ahead, mid-tempo, generic rock with a touch of twang." [9]

The State determined that "it rocks harder than previous Dreams So Real discs, capturing the full force of the band's live shows." [10] Trouser Press concluded that "Dreams So Real are still caught between two conflicting impulses—big-league rock power and carefully detailed grassroots richness." [7]
